🕊️ The Seven Deadly Sins in the Church — Apostle Joshua Selman Calls for a Purified Church


LOB News I http://www.livingourbible.com I Friday 24th October 2025


At the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) 40th Anniversary Convention in Lagos, Apostle Joshua Selman delivered a stirring address to church leaders and believers across Nigeria, urging deep introspection and spiritual reform.

“The Holy Spirit is always speaking. At every major prophetic milestone, God brings commendations, rebukes, and a new chapter,” Selman declared, drawing from Revelation 3:22.

In what he described as “a letter to the Church in Nigeria,” Apostle Selman outlined seven deadly sins that have hindered the growth and purity of the body of Christ.
He listed them as: immorality, the lust for money and material things, witchcraft and extra-biblical practices, pride and vainglory, sins of the tongue, competition and unhealthy comparison, and doctrinal imbalance.

“The cancer of pride, vainglory, and self-centeredness has plagued my generation of preachers,” he lamented.
“We must conquer the unguarded appetite for money and material things… Prosperity must not be the measure of true spirituality.”

Selman emphasized that while Nigeria has “exported the gospel across the globe,” the church must now embrace humility, repentance, and unity to sustain revival.

“We cannot love Jesus too much to kill one another as proof that we love Him,” he warned.

He concluded with a prophetic prayer that God would grant grace to purify the Nigerian church and usher it into a new era of holiness and balance.


The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria’s 40th Anniversary was a prophetic call to purity, order, and unity in the body of Christ. Apostle Joshua Selman’s message reminds every believer that revival must begin with repentance and balance.
